I don't know of any runout specifications, but if it's binding, that's You say it's got a wobble in one section only. To me that means either the rotor is warped, or it was installed incorrectly onto

Well, that's not an answer to the question and doesn't help Dave at all. If indeed the 1500 flywheel does bolt up to the early 1300 in the Mk 3 with the small bearings, then I'm all wet. But as I rec
